The Bronze Age gets much less vague when somebody starts asking exactly how long the spear was.
Andrea Salimbeti’s site focuses on weapons and warfare in the Late Helladic world, roughly 1600 to 1100 BC.
Its pages pull together archaeological finds, pottery, seals, frescoes, Linear B records, literary evidence, and modern reconstructions to examine armour, shields, spears, javelins, bows, chariots, greaves, and other equipment.
The detail can get extremely specific.
One section discusses different chariot designs. Another follows spear types through artistic representations and archaeological points. Armour pages compare bronze cuirasses, scale armour, lighter corselets, greaves, and the famous Dendra-style panoply.
Reconstruction as an argument
The useful thing about a site like this is that a reconstruction is not presented as decoration.
It is an argument built from fragments.
A pottery image may show a shield shape. A grave may preserve bronze hardware. A Linear B tablet may record equipment. Homer may preserve a description whose relationship to archaeological evidence must be handled carefully.
The site brings those categories together and shows how much uncertainty remains.
That makes it more valuable than a generic illustration of “a Mycenaean warrior.”
The reader gets to see why a particular helmet, spear length, shield form, or armour arrangement has been proposed.
The pages are also heavily illustrated with drawings and archaeological examples, and the site was still being updated in 2025 despite retaining a layout that recommends a 1024×768 display.
That sentence alone qualifies it for Ancient Web citizenship.
The broader 1,967 Ancient Web Domains research list repeatedly turns up enthusiast and researcher pages that preserve the reasoning behind specialist reconstructions.
The Greek Age of Bronze does exactly that.
It does not just show warriors from three thousand years ago. It shows how modern people try to rebuild them from incomplete evidence.
